STAGE 1ROLE OF COMMUNITY GROUPS/SERVICE CLUBS

1.General:

No community in Canada has all of the public facilities it needs. Canada is

a wealthy country when compared to others, though sometimes there is

simply not enough to go around. These gaps are filled by local, national,

and international community groups/service clubs.

2.Role:

Community groups/service clubs will often be dedicated to helping out the

less fortunate members of the community. These groups may be

dedicated to:

a.raising funds for research for cures for disease;

b.assisting veterans;

c.assisting the poor; or,

d.investing in the education of the youth.

3.Some examples:

Nearly all community groups/service clubs are different in their aims

though most operate as non-profit organizations. Some examples of

community groups/service clubs that you may find in your community are:

a.Kinsmen/Kinettes:

This is a non-sectarian service club that supports programs within

the local community.

b.The Royal Canadian Legion:

Dedicated to keeping the memory alive of those who fell in the

service of their country. Provides support for veterans and their

families and operates or supports several youth programs.

c.The Lion’s Club:

A non-sectarian organization that is geared toward supporting the

local community. Some activities this organization is involved in

would be fundraising for special causes and providing support for youth programs.

d.The Salvation Army:

An organization geared toward supporting the poor or less well to

do elements of society. Though religiously orientated, this

organization provides support to all who need it. Some of the

activities that this organization is involved in would be operating

shelters and soup kitchens for the homeless, providing support

services and resources for service personnel (Armed Forces) on active duty or operating discount stores which sell used clothing

and furniture.

e.St. John’s Ambulance:

This organization is dedicated to providing first aid training to the

public through the provision of courses at a reasonable cost.

St. John’s Ambulance also certifies instructors from other

organizations (Police, Fire Departments, Department of National

Defence, etc) to instruct within their own organization and provides

them with standardized manuals and teaching aids to assist them.

f. Royal Canadian Air Force Association:

This organization is also dedicated to keeping the memory alive of

those who fell in the service of their country. It provides support for

the local community and also operates or supports several youth

programs.

g.The Rotary Club:

The mission of Rotary International is to ensure Rotary's continuing

relevance, and to help build a better world, emphasizing service

activities by individuals and groups that enhance the quality of life

and human dignity, encouraging high ethical standards, and

creating greater understanding among all people to advance the

search for peace in the world.
